ARTICLE SUMMARY:The hookup culture in college isn't as pervasive as you may think; the median number of hookups for a graduating senior is seven, two fewer hookups than last year, and of those, only 40% of those "hookups" actually included sexual intercourse, making the number of new sexual partners gained during college more realistically around two. And perhaps not too surprisingly, those that..."outshine" their fellow students in the hookup department are conventionally attractive, wealthy, able bodied, white and heterosexual. The article goes into some interesting territories about expectations by ethnicities (African American students combating hyper sexual stereotypes, less likely to be in Greek societies, low alcohol consumption) as well as by financial situation (the mindset of middle and lower class students and their view of college and relationships versus those who are more privileged). An interesting read.
